SUPERCUBE - by GiiKER

The hardware is pretty solid. The Software has come a long way, HOWEVER (and this is a big problem) Live mode isn't live. Yes, you're battling people but firstly, it's not live. Secondly, in a 1 hour session, I got the same scramble 8 times. Yes - 8 TIMES. That's not at all fair for the other person. Instead of recording and playing back battles, there really should be a live mode option instead of a 'playback battle' option. For those of you skeptical: Ever notice how you never wait to be paired with someone? It's the exact same time every time. Also ever notice that you never have to wait for your opponent to finish scrambling their cube? Do you ever notice that sometimes they have a solve that is slower than you but they 'finish' first? These are all major hints that this live mode isn't live at all. You're basically battling pre-recorded solves by other people. Now, I don't actually have a major problem with this, except there were times where I got 3 or 4 familiar scrambles back-to-back. It's not actually 'generating' a scramble, but rather just downloading a playback for you to battle against. Anyway, this is something I think the developer should definitely address, or at least allow me to battle people ACTUALLY live instead of just these sessions. Also, a major feature problem is that I tend to solve white on the bottom, but there's no option for me to have that as a default. I can change Blue/Green on front, but nothing for putting Yellow on top. Quite annoying. All of the modes do work well, except live mode which occasionally bugs out and I lose no matter what I do, or things completely time out and things never recover (in which I lose my battle automatically) I think those should be automatic wins (when there is a server issue) I also have this app for the iPad, and I've noticed exactly the same issues on iOS so it's definitely not a localized issue. Overall I think this is a great game, fun way to learn the cube and I definitely like the stats as well. The software could use a bit of improvement. On the surface it's not bad, but once you use it for a while, you'll see for yourself.

Almost only playing battles, the issue with them is that there might be a bug with scramble generation. In a session I have gotten 5-6 in a row repeated scrambles. I guess it's generated on server and sent via API, so the default scramble is appearing all the time... There's another issue with some scrambles in which is really easy to make a triple xcross, like 5 moves. And I have also gotten that scramble repeated. Please fix these issues so it can't be exploited by competitors, thanks!

The more I play with it, the more I like it. The only problem I'm having lately is the app losing my colour state and having to reset it manually. Especially frustrating in battle mode when I win by 20 seconds but it doesn't know I'm done. Have to wait for my opponent to finish and then wait another 30 seconds for my time to run out before I can reset the cube. *Edit* I've discovered that I only lose the colour state when battling. I can go nuts drilling my algs and it never loses track.
